KILLED WITH A STICK
An ARRAY at POsey County Dance Results in
Murder.
Shot the Eye-Car Inspector Killed
Killed by a Falling Tree-FOund
Dead-Other Specials.

MOUNT VERNON, Jan. 12.-Last night q
serious ARRAY occurred at the residence of
Virgil Doss, nine miles west of this city, re-
sulting in the death of George Server, and
the injury of Henry and George Edwards.
A dance was in progress and the Edwards
boys refused to pay the admission fee and
Doss put them out OF the house, and then
went out and cut them both with knife.
He returned with a large stick of wood and
said he would clean out the rest OF the
crowd. He saw Server alone, and without
provocation struck him fearful blow with
the stick, knocking him senseless. He was
taken home, and expired in about five hours.
Doss was captured and brought to this city,
and was sent to Jail without bail. A pre-
liminary examination will be held to-mor-
row afternoon.

The UnwelcOme Baby.


Another mouth to feed, said John Allen
when the new baby came.
God never sends mouths but what he
sends bread to fill them" said his employer,
piously.
aye. Only he sends the mouths to me
and the bread to you, " asserted John Allen.
~ guess God made mistake when he sent
that baby here" remarked John Allen, Jr.,
aged eight the baby himself until now.
God never makes mistakes" answered his
pale, fearful mother, the baby's only friend.
1t is sad enough to many people to have to
come into the world at all, but to come into
a world where no one wants you to be in
eyerybody's way to have your 1000 ana

reckoned up and grudged to you, oh, poor
little unwelcome babe, who would be in your
place?
They christened the Allen baby by the
quaint and pretty name OF Barbara. Mrs.
Allen hoped it would bring good luck, be-
cause it had been the name of sweet
woman who was dead-her own mother.
And it reminded her of that other Barbara
Allen, and the song she oftenest crOoned to
the baby was that old love song with its sad
refrain.
1 suppose the unwelcome baby ought to
have been pale, pensive child, who never
smiled, if thefe is anything in antenatal
theories. But truth compels me to say that
looked pretty in the only clothes that were
hers, the csst-of and outgrown wardrobe
of John Allen Jr. And she just bubbled
over with laughter and cooings, and would
be noticed and petted, as If she had come to
stav.
You'll be late for work, john" his wife
would say to John Allen.

strong arms and kissed her again and yet

there were smiles mixed with the crows

baby that at last had found its welcome. So
with them all. The big sister "Wasted hes

ever be wasted in that way-getting down
on her knees to worship that baby. And
her voice grew low and SOFT because OF the
new love in her heart. And when liJtla

Goes Back to the Zip" System.
IChicago Tribune.l

Several years ago Potter Palmer made up
his mind that he would abolish tips in his
hotel. The plan, however, did not work as
well as he thought il would, for there was
any number of guests who were al ways ready
to give gratuities. OF course, whenever a
servant was caught in the act of accepting q
bribe he or she was promptly discharged;
but lessons of this kind proved of no avail,
and the servant force of the house was sub
iected to such constant changes that it was
impossible to keep the service up to the de-
sired standard. Consequently, after giving
his plan a fair trial, MIR. Palmer concluded
that it was not good one, and with the be-
gin ng of the present year went back to the
old system. The former head porter has
been hired, and he pays his subordinates out
of his own pocket, the understanding
being that they turn over to him al the
stray cash they receive.

Shooting at a Country Literary"

LEBANON, Jan. l2.-The particulars OF
shooting scrape at the Emnert school
house in Jackson Township, on Monday
evening, were received here this morning.
A literary society was in session at the
school-house, and William Sandlin, young
man of the neighborhood, maddened by
liquor, went to the house with the
announced intention of cleaning out"
the meeting. French Airhsrt, another
young man Of the vicinity, came out and
warned SandlIn to desist from any such
proceeding, and to put up his revolver,
which he was fourishing about in dan
gerous manner. This enraged Sandlin the
more, and he fired at Airhart, the ball pen
etrating one of his eyes and passing out near
the ear. The young man is seriously, but it
is thought not fatally, injured. Sandlin
has eluded arrest.

A Two Years Sentence, Etc.

BLUFFToS, Jan. 12-On the 18th inst. the
case of the State of Indiana VS.. Alonzo OK
ley, for assault and battery with intent to
rape Sarah Golf, was tried in the Wells Cir
cult Court, and this morning the jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty OF the whole
charge, fixing the punishment at two years
in the State prison. The crime was COM
mitted December 81, 1886, and the defendant
was the uncle of the prosecuting witness,
who was but little over fourteen years of age.
Mcssrs. France & Lee conducted the defense
with great skill.
To-day the same court is engaged in trying
the case of the State of Indiana VS.. Cronjn,
for assault and battery with intent to rape a
Mrs. Strahm.
Still third case of rape on seven-year-
old girl has been continued until the next
term of court.
1t may be said to be within the probabIli-
ties that the next Grand Jury will indict the
Republican party for its rape of the House of
Representatives on last Monday. Difficulty
in establishing the manhood of the defendant
in that case will alone prevent conviction.

serious charges Against COnstables.

PsRU, Jan. 14.-During last October James
Brumfeld, a miner of Santa Fe, this county,
was bound over to court for larceny. Fail
ing to give bond, in the custody of Constable
Charles S. Bowers and Deputy Dave York he
was started to Jail at Peru. On the way he
escaped, but was rearrested by another Off
Ger, and this week he was sentenced to the
penitentiary for one year. Under oath he
made the startling statement that Bowers
and York allowed him to make his escape
for a consideration of $40, in which he was
cOrroborated by his father, Mr.. Jacob Brum-
6eld, of Upland Grant County. The Grand
Jury being in session here, the two officers
were indicted for bribery and conspiracy,
and have been placed in Jail. Bowers was
captured at Burlington, Carroll County, to-

Not Guilty, by Court Order.

CORYDoN, Jan. 13-The case of the State OF
Indiana vs. AMI w. Brewster Auditor Of
this county (Harrison) for drawing, present
ing and receiving payment OF false county
orders, was tried yesterday at LeavenWorth
on a change from this county, and the jury
returned a verdict Of not guilty upon
peremptory instruction by the court.
The State went into trial with
out having the records necessary to make the
proof or certified copies of the same, and
the court rejected oral evidence of them.
The action of the Prosecuting Attorney in
not having taken necessary steps to get certi-
fed copies of the records to be used at the
trial is regarded as strange department.

com passed by the followers OF both Mr.. Nc

undoubted choice of the party, and not
simply the selection of one element OF it.

Mr. Turpie would be nominated was recalled
and accepted as conclusive evidence that he
understood the situation thoroughly.

RETIRED FROM PRACTICE.

The CAT is authorized to state that
Drs. J. W. and c. H. Martin have retired
from the practice of medicine. These
gentlemen have been engaged in the
practice of their profession in Colby for
more than year, and have merited and
received such wide practice that it &C.
cupied their entire attention both day
and night. Oftimes riding distance of
ninety miles in single day. We are
sure that the people of this community
will regret that they have SO determined.
Their large property interests have made
the change necessary. G. H. Martin is
president of the First National Bank, and
taking into consideration that they have
an interest and exclusive sale of two
thirds of the unsOld lots in the city of
Colby. it is not to be wondered at. This
firm have been the largest owners of Col
by property, and have helped to boom
the town and county to a great extent,
and their property interests demand their
whole attention, also requiring the as
sistance of two clerks.
By their retiring, it leaves only one
practicing resident physician. There is a
wide and profitable field left open to a
good physician or two in Colby. Good
physicians desiring splendid location
will do well to come to Colby mt once, or
write to Martin Bros, Jas. S. Warden or
the editor of the CAT.
The drug business will be conducted at
the old stand, and prescriptions will be
filed at all hours by competent pharma-
cists. As heretofore the store will be un
der the immediate management of Mr..
Jas. Hampton, well and favOrably known
to the citizens of Colby and Thomas
